Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical

I am not upset in the least bit by the ending of HIMYM..it made sense completely. I think people were gonna be mad no matter how the ending went.

Well that's obvious...the story isn't about how he met their mother, the story about asking his kids permission to move on from the love of his life that's been gone 6 years and give it another go with Robin...It makes way more sense now why he told the story this way doesn't it?

Yep...telling a long drawn out story about meeting the mother when literally he could have just said "I met her at Uncle Barney's Wedding" is pretty stupid. The context was what mattered which is why the kids figured out he and Robin were supposed to be together.

Sh* just got real. What a setup for the season finale!
 
Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical

I gotta say, it is fun to watch people get upset over fictional characters though. :)

To address some points though:

Why would we get all that time to deal with the mother dying. The point is Ted is telling the story to his kids, they know their mom died and how it happened. he is not going to spend a ton of time on that part of the story because they were there. They wanted to know how he came to meet her. Seeing as almost every important point in the story involved Robin and how they each felt about each other the kids got how he felt.

As for Barney reverting back to his old self, that is pretty common after a divorce. He completely remade himself to be the perfect man for Robin and it still wasnt good enough. He is at his best when he has someone to inspire to be that way and his daughter finally did it for good.

The ending wasnt perfect (Psych is the only perfect ending I have seen in a long time) but I thought it wrapped it up well and was consistent with the whole point of the show.

I thought Burn Notice did a wonderful job with their ending...
 
Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical

Yeah I forgot that one...that was a very very good ending. USA shows do it right :)

Royal Pains has to be getting close to the cut line just like White Collar. Sad cause both are good shows and USA has nothing that looks interesting coming up.

They had a great run...starting with Monk, The Dead Zone, Psych, Burn Notice, Royal Pains, White Collar, Suits...too bad it doesn't seem like there is much left. I've never gotten into Graceland and gave up on Covert Affairs. I might have to give Sirens a try...

I did like Fairly Legal, but that probably has more to do with Sarah Shahi than the show itself...

Dead Zone was great but they never finished it which always ticked me off...

Whoever was head of Universal Programming better have gotten a hefty raise. I mean Suits alone gets tens of millions of viewers and Monk was about as critically acclaimed as any show of its time.

Agree on Fairly Legal....and Sarah Shahi. :D

I really liked season 1 of Graceland. Can't wait for season 2 to start. I've seen a couple episodes of Sirens. Certainly not on the level of Psych, Monk, Burn Notice, etc...but it's been pretty decent so far.

I hear ya there. Mad Men (although it's a split season, like Breaking Bad), SOA, and I believe Californication all have one season left. Justified has be closing shop in the next year or two (or should be, IMO), and that pretty much leaves The Americans for my tv shows (I don't really count The League; that's a different animal).

Although then I can start back-watching shows like The Wire, Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, etc.

And The Americans got kinda awkward towards the end last night. "Be Clark." /okthatturnedweird

I'm a few episodes behind. I missed one a few weeks ago while being busy with other things and because of FX's asinine streaming rules, I can't get caught up to the current week. :mad:
